UK Championship 25/11 - 7/12

[Dani]

Lol even Selby congratulated Ronnie on Twitter. Well done, Mark.

I don't think Ronnie would've won another major had he lost. Just like Hendry didn't after losing to Ebdon in 2002.

It was a great Final you have to give Judd Trump a standing ovation he never gave up and i thought
that he would have won the Final Frame.

It would have been a big blow for Ronnie Osullivan to lose the Final Game of the Uk Snooker Champs 2014 after being up nine frames to 4 frames.

Ronnie has now won five Masters five Uk Snooker Champs and also five Worlds Snooker Championships

I love watching Ronnie Osullivan play he is a genius and i do not think there will be another Ronnie Osullivan.

Judd Trump is getting there however he needs to sharpen his safety play and he will win one Day the World Snooker Champion in a few years from now

[PatBlock]

Cracking match. I think the best player won, but that was a really gutsy fightback
from a man who looked down and out. Maybe next time Judd.

I believe that was the best snooker final of all time, I'm just a little too young to remember it

It was very tough if you were a Davis fan. It took me a long while to like Dennis after that.

Best comeback I've ever seen was Dennis Taylor's against Davis in the '85 WC. 8-0 down against the strongest player the world had ever seen at that point. Don't think Selby could have overturned an 8-0 deficit against Ronnie.

That comeback will never be beaten, if you'd written a script for a film to the story of that final then it would have been deemed too unrealistic. I don't think there's ever been a sporting event that's followed a script like that.

Yes, but then he's been doing it for a while, and I think everyone knows what they're up against when they're playing him. Selby has taken over from Higgins as one of the few players who can routinely get past the aura.

Well that's the way things these things tends to work is that other players eventually up there game and eventually bet the main man. I think the Judd in a couple of years time would have beaten Ronnie today.

Yes that one's up there! I'm afraid it was just before the time I started watching snooker, so I only just missed it back then

[gavpowell]

Is it not worrying for the other players that a 39 year old Ronnie playing his B game is still enough to win a major?

For me only one comeback can be the all-time greatest and indeed it's the one when Selby beat Ronnie in last year's WC final...nothing ever will come close to that in my personal opinion. The way he made his way into the match, holding Ronnie off, playing to his strengths, and slowly but surely picking off the frames...that was the absolute highpoint of my 30 years of watching snooker...simply an incredible match that was

I've been there. I know how you feel. Couldn't watch the last session of the O'Sullivan vs Selby world final because of it. Still haven't.

It will be on youtube pretty soon. These things normally are.

Ive been there unfortunately since jims dreaded rush of blood on the black in 1994, i didnt see that miss until the sports personality of the year 7 months later, no internet then!

Cheers for link

[Ronnie's tip]

Will the BBC replay the final frame on the red button (or on Snooker extra?).

[daffie]

This sure is weird watching a repeat of the final few frames on Eurosport atm just minutes after the live final ended! I'm getting excited all over again

[gavpowell]

Judd is pretty much Rocky Balboa at the moment.

Well no, because Rocky Balboa got battered by Apollo Creed in the first fight but won the title in the subsequent rematch
